Pope Writing a Book?

Here's what Reuters is reporting:

Pope Benedict is writing a book on Jesus that will become the second major theological work of his pontificate, a Vatican source said on Tuesday. The book, expected to be completed by the end of the summer, focuses on Jesus, the human race and Christianity's relationship with other faiths. The work, which Benedict started before becoming pope in April 2005, comes at a time when he seeks to restore a strong sense of faith among Catholics in the face of growing secularism and competition form other religions, including Islam. Benedict, a leading Catholic theologian and prolific author, aimed to include reflections from his experience as pope in the book written in the form of a "theological narrative," the Rome-based la Repubblica newspaper said.

Should be a good read once it is released.....if you haven't done so already, you should check out "Deus Charitas Est" which was the Holy Father's first encyclical. You can find it at www.vatican.va.
